Fall is upon us, Leaves scattered on ground. The rake remains lonely.

Life is a circle and it isn’t all that hard to understand. But jus’ in case, let me break it down for you. The cockroach is afraid of the mouse. The mouse fears the cat. The cat’s scared of the dog. The dog’s frightened of the man. The man dreads the woman. And the woman —…

The conversation got around to me asking, “So, how do you know when you’ve pushed yourself too far?” “Well, there are three things I consider warning signs,” she answered. “A pain that…
